National Geographic Magazine has selected the top ten most breathtaking geographic wonders in the world. Among them are the incredible natural wonders found in the United States.


From towering dunes to massive glaciers and picturesque valleys, the United States is a country with an incredible diversity of natural beauty.


Yellowstone National Park, known for its geothermal features, is home to the Great Prismatic Spring. This hot spring has a vibrant blue center, surrounded by rusty orange, yellow, and green bands that give it a transcendent look.


The Midway Geyser Basin, where the Great Prismatic Spring is located, is accessible via a half-mile (0.8 km) boardwalk that encircles the hot springs and other pools. The large prismatic shape of the Great Prismatic Spring is so massive that it is difficult to determine its shape. Visitors should head to the nearby Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook for a magnificent view further out.


Caddo Lake, situated on the Texas-Louisiana border, is a swampy lake that may be one of the most temperamental natural wonders on the list. Cypress trees with knotted trunks are submerged in dark, mysterious water, with Spanish moss dripping from them. Crocodiles can sometimes be found sunning themselves on the logs, and the lake's slightly spooky atmosphere is perfect for slow paddling in a kayak or canoe.


The Ischigualasto/Taranmupaia Natural Park, located in the desert zone of central Argentina, is home to lakes and swamps that contain a large number of plant fossils. Some of these fossils have become coal deposits, while others have preserved intact the original shapes, veins, and textures of the plants, a form of preservation not often found in other areas.


The most common type of sediment is the volcanic ash layer, and the dry, rugged surface of the land of Ischigualasto is known as the "Valley of the Moon."


The Uyuni Salt Marsh, also known as the "mirror of the sky," is a salt flat in Bolivia. Every winter, it is filled with rainwater, forming a shallow lake, while every summer, the lake dries up, leaving a crust of salt-based minerals, up to 6 meters thick in the middle.


People can drive across the lake by car. Especially after the rain, the surface of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the beautiful view of the sky, which is also known as the legendary Sky City.


Antelope Canyon, located in Arizona, is one of the world's famous slit-type canyons, which used to be the habitat of wild antelope. The rocks on the walls of the canyon seem to be carefully polished and change into various strange colors under the sunlight. This creates a stunning visual effect that attracts tourists from all over the world.


The Belize Blue Hole, located off the coast of Belize, is one of the top ten geological wonders of the world. From above, it looks like the pupil of the sea, deep and mysterious, with beautiful corals and a great variety of fish swimming in it. It is also one of the top ten dangerous diving places in the world.


Crystal Cave, located deep underground in the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico, is a natural wonder that is truly amazing. The cave is 1000 feet deep and contains many huge crystal bodies. These crystals have different shapes, and their colors are mostly translucent gold and silver. They emit light, creating a magical atmosphere that is sure to leave visitors in awe.


In conclusion, these natural wonders are some of the most amazing geographical phenomena on earth. They are a testament to the beauty and power of nature and offer a glimpse into the breathtaking landscapes that exist all around us.
